Special Constables
All kinds of people, from all walks of life, for all kinds of reasons volunteer with West Mercia Police Special Constabulary. It's a way to get involved in policing and to give something back to the community.
Special Constables in HerefordSpecial Constables are unpaid, part-time police officers who work in some of the most important areas of policing, using their spare time to make a difference. They commit to a minimum of 16 hours a month, although many people do significantly more as the hours can be flexible to fit around work and home life commitments.
Fully-trained Special Constables have full police powers, wear a police uniform and work alongside regular police officers and police staff, with opportunities for promotion to develop their leadership and management skills.
